With the tie rod end, sway bar end link, A-arm, & knuckle replaced, I tried to install the (straight) torsion bar. But it didn't align with its pocket under the frame rail, indicating the frame is bent. So I pried the end of the bar into place and bolted the key cover on. At that point, I noticed the rear A-arm frame horn was fouling in the differential yoke, so I pulled the diff out. I may also pull the engine to make more working room for straightening the frame.
